A random collection of musings, observations, links, comments, analysis and thoughts on pop culture, television, movies, music, sports and life in general from someone who has painfully eschewed therapy.

I'm going to be optimistic, and know that carrying a perpetually sunny outlook will make positive things happen in my life.

I'm going to always look for the best in people, because they never disappoint, deceive or let you down.

I will eschew science and logic and realize that good things only happen through faith and beliefs that cannot be rationally explained.

Television is a vast wasteland, and I won't spend another hour watching it.

People's past behavior is no indication of who they truly are in the present, and everyone deserves trust.

Smoking and drinking are harmful vices, don't bring me any joy, and I'll quit to enjoy a rich, happy life well into old age.

People are inherently selfless, only worrying about the good they can do for others.

Bitterness is a negative emotion and counter-productive. It will make me feel better to let go of old grudges and forgive the people who have treated me like a doormat anytime over the past 41 years.

Worrying about using a coaster, emptying an ashtray, cleaning up immediately after a meal, labeling file folders and putting every single item in my home in the "right place" is maddening. A little clutter and mess is good, and I'll let go of my OCD tendencies.

I'll look in the mirror every day and see a well adjusted, happy and handsome person, come to accept myself faults and all, and truly love me for who I am.

I finally agree with Whitney Houston: "I believe the children are our future, Teach them well and let them lead the way, Show them all the beauty they possess inside, Give them a sense of pride..."

I think the earth is our most precious resource and I care about what happens to it long after I'm gone. I'm going to get an electric car, turn my AC up above 70 and start recycling.
